Ammonia i'm Baking Powders.
[From the Scientific Americana


Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, none is more important than
the uses 10 which common ammonia can be
properly put as a leavening agent, and
which indicate that this familiar salt is
hereafter to perform an active part in the
preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceed
ingly volatile substance. Place small
portion of it upon knife and hold over a
flame, and II will almost Immediately be en-
tirely developed into gas and pass off into
the air. The gas thus formed is a simple
composition OF nitrogen and hydrogen. No
residue Is left from the ammonia. This
gives II its superiority as a leavening pow
der over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use rs supple
ment to these articles. A small quantity OF
ammonia in the dough is effective in pro-
ducing bread that will be lighter, sweeter
and more wholesome than that risen by any
other leavening agent. When 1t is acted
upon by the heat of baking, the leavening
gas that raises the dough is liberated. In
this act II uses itself up, as 1t were; the am
monia is entirely unused, leaving no trace
or residuum whatever. The light, fluffy,
flaky appearance, so desirable In biscuits,
etc, and so sought after by professional
cooks, is said TO be impaired TO them only
by the use Of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manufac-
turers producing the finest goods have been
quick to avail themselves of this useful dis
coverv. aud the handsomest and best bread
and cake are now largely risen by the aid of
ammonia combined, Of course, with other
leavening material.
Ammonia is one Of the best known pro-
ducts Of the laboratory. II, as seems to be
Justly claimed for 1t, the application Of its
properties to the purposes Of cooking, re-
suits in giving us lighter and more whole
some bread, biscuit and cake, It will prove
boon to dyspeptic humanity, and win
speedily force itself into genera use IN the
new ns'd to which science has assigned zt

TREASURER JOSEPH.
DepiorabIe circumstances Connected
With His Defaication.

GALVESTON, Feb. 18.-The comics
sion of Treasurer Thomas Nj. Joseph,
of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows,
was like "A thunderbolt from cloud
less sky To- the many friends and con-
stituents of the confcssor in this city.
He has been resident here almost
from bovhood, and has always been
regarded as the very embodiment OF
truth and honor; but now, in his old
age, when nearing the close of
a long aud hitherto honorable ca
recr. he ad mits that he has deiaulted
in n sum exceeding $4,000. In 1858
he succeeded John Henry Brown as
Mayor of Galveston, an Office, which
he filled with honor for several con-
sccutive terms, and was succeeded by
Charles ii. Leonard in 1864. He has
been prominent in other avocations
here, and his honesty and integrity
was considered good. lie is father of
a large family of children who are
grown, and perhaps receive the blow
occasioncd by the fathers admission
with great solicitude and acute humil.
iation, and expressions of fear are en-
tertained that Mr.. Joseph will seek
soace from his trouble and degrade
ton by self destruction. which he has
hitherto intimated he was in humor
TO do. Hon. Barnett Gibbs is still
here and is awaiting the arrival
of the trcasurcr's official bond before
taking any definite action in prosecu-
ton of Treasurer Joseph. The bond
will be here tomorrow, and he will
seek an audience with the bondsmen,
unknown to himself. and if his deficit
is not made up his mode of action is
already defined for visiting the penal
ty ascribcd by the statutes. There is
n question involved which will be in
teresting to the bondsmen. Treasurer
Joseph admits that he has not had any
funds in his possession for four years,
and the question naturally arises re-
garding the responsibility of the pres
ent bondsmen for a deialcation that
occurred years before they became
such. also whether the defalcation oc.
Cured four years ago or at the time
money was demanded and not
produced. If the present bondsmen
are not liable for money lost before
they signed the bond, are his
former bondsmen responsible for a
share or the whole of the de-
falcation, or are they absolved by the
statute of limitations or by virtue OF
the lapse of the time of their liability.
The loss of the money is a severe
blow to the Odd Fellows in Texas, as
The funds belonged to the widows and or
Dhans' fund, but II does not cripple them,
rs the order possesses large amount oil
much of which could be turned
INTO money If an emergency made such a
step necessary. This disgrace coming so
soon after the defalcation and decampment

gigantic failure of Block, Oppenheimer a.
Co., makes the matter doubly deplorable, as

,vidity by the enemies of Galveston and

TEACHERS and leaders should
prove their own faith in their new
doctrines If they would cultivate
faith in others; and if necessary
to inspire confidence in their new

the test to the socialistic leaders
in this way:

communists as Henry George and
John Swinton TO wear swallow-tail
